I had my driveway & garden resurfaced with bitmac in February 2010. For over a year now, we've noticed that we're bringing tiny black/grey stones into the house pretty much every time we come in.
On closer inspection the drive is covered in stones ranging from tiny to small (around 5mm) as shown in the following photo:
The drainage channel around the drive seems to contain a quantity of these stones as shown in the next two photos:
We've had the company, a reputable one based in the area, out to inspect the drive - the guy who came out said the drive was as he'd expect it to be after 2 years and that the stones were from the roads and brought onto the drive by our cars. He also said the stuff in the drainage channel was dirt and grit.
Despite telling us he'd get an estimator to come out we got a fairly patronising letter basically repeating what the guy had said and adding that the stones were 'debris that mother nature drops on us'.
Strange as none of our neighbours' drives or the adjoining roads seem to be shat on by 'mother nature'.
I'm due to ring up Tony from this website to discuss the matter but I thought I'd ask for any comment or advice from here first.
Many thanks.
